C+EDifficulty 1/5

An area is marked with a yellow zigzag, with no sign limiting its application to specified hours. May you leave a vehicle combination parked there overnight?

Correct answer

No, the marking prohibits parking in that area.

No. Marking M-7.9 prohibits parking by vehicles in general because the area is reserved for a short-stay special use, such as a bus stop or loading area. The marking alone does not express a universal ban on every vehicle stopping: also obey the reservation rules and other signs. If it applies only during specified periods, a vertical sign must state them; the question excludes such a time restriction.
